Area of Science:

Orthopedic Surgery
Biomaterials Science
Medical Device Technology

Background:

Anchors are crucial for soft tissue to bone fixation in orthopedic surgery.
Evolution from metal to bioresorbable anchors offers improved biocompatibility and integration.
The SonicAnchor utilizes unique SonicFusion technology for bone interdigitation.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the clinical performance and safety of the SonicAnchor bioresorbable polymer anchor.
To assess the efficacy of SonicAnchor in reconstructive orthopedic foot and ankle procedures.

Main Methods:

A four-year prospective study involving 116 patients undergoing reconstructive orthopedic surgery.
Use of at least one SonicAnchor bioresorbable polymer anchor (total 233 implants).
Clinical healing and adverse events were monitored throughout the follow-up period.

Main Results:

93.1% of patients achieved successful clinical healing.
Average follow-up was 309 days, with 56% having at least six months follow-up.
No adverse events, mechanical failures, or infections were reported.

Conclusions:

The SonicAnchor demonstrates comparable performance to existing devices in soft tissue repair.
The bioresorbable polymer anchor shows promising safety and efficacy in orthopedic reconstructions.
The device's radiolucent and small footprint characteristics are advantageous.
